About eight o'clock the discharge of musquetry became brisk, and lasted till near ten o'clock. The marshy Soil did not allow the cavalry to a& with effect, while the insurgents retained their advantageous po sition ; but when they appeared to want ammuni tion, 'tbe French and Bavarian troops attacked them with vehemence, and drove them into the woods.— They were pursued thither by the Bavarians, who made a great slaughter among them. The French cavalry cut down a number of the insurgents, and it was with difficulty that the Officers could save the lives of five of them.

VIENNA, JUNE 17.—The French have at length succeeded in conyleting three bridges acrois the Danube, with exertions, the extent of which will hardly be credited..

T OF,A PRIVATE LETTER.] . - a BANKS OF THE 'WESER, JULY I.—The expe&- ed conflia between the two grand armies had not taken place on the 20th of June. The last letters from Vienna of that date report, .that Buorip.parte, finding himself straitened with respe& to provisions, had applied, to the Austrian Emperor, and the Arch duke Charles, in behalf of the inhabitants of Vienna, and met with an absolute refusal. It is therefore expeaed, that the scarcity which prevails in his camp, .will force him to.attack the entrenched Aus trian camp, on the other% side of the Danube. " In the neighbourhood of Presburg, the Aus trians have established a bridge over the Danube, defended by a tete de pat, near Wolfsthal, which Marshal Davoust attacked in. vain,, with toiono men. The Austrian General Bianchi repulsed his attacks. " Marshal Lefebvre had still his head-quarters, on the 13th of JUne, at Lintz, at the head of two divisions of the Bavarian troops, commanded by, the Crown Prince of Bavaria, and Gen. \Vrede. " In Saxony, the Austrians and the corps under the young Duke of Brunswick Oels, were on the 21 st of June in the neighbourhood of Leipzig and Halle; their van-guards reached Merseburg and Weissenfels. Jerome Buonaparte was with a few of his own troops, and a regiment of the Grand Duke of Berg's cavalry, at IVluhlhausen, on the 19th. The Dutch, under General Gratien, had their head quarters at Halberstadt, on the ctst. " In Poland, the fortune of war has declared in favour of the Polish troops, under Prince Poniatow sky, who is 'reported to have been joined by a column of Russians, under a General Suwaroff; but the reigning Duke of Oldenburg, who was in this neighbourhood two days ago, is said, to have drops' very broad hints, that Russia would : not ad seriously against the Austrians. Fhe pews of the success of the Archduke Charles on the Danube, had reached St. Petersburgh . before his departure, and created such a tumultuous joy among the lower orders in the Russian capital, that the French Ambassador com plained to Alexander, who replied, that it was the voice of the people, which he was unable to con troul. " In Hungary, the Archduke John sustained on the 15th, near Raab, a partial defeat, which . forced him to retreat under the walls of the strong fortress of Comm, and by which he lost t 500 men, killed and wounded. " The Moniteur of the 24th June also announces, in an article dated Hamburgh the 13th June, that the Hanseatic towns are to he garrisoned by West phalian troops; but of this there is not the least ap prehension. The King of Westphalia wants his troops to maintain himself in a corner of his coun try. Cassel is even reported to be occupied by the last Landgrave, or Elector of Hesse Cassel, at the head of 10,000 men, which the Papers in the French interest reduce to, 500. This is, however, a mere rumour, which has not yet been confirmed. The Berlin Gazette, of the 27th June, affirms, that the Austrians are again in possession of Nurn berg., That one of their columns has entered Fran conia from Saxony, appears certain. " Great alarm prevailed of late on the banks of the Weser, in the neighbourhood of Bremerlehe, rem speEling an English Expedition ; which was expeded to be landed in t'bat quarter. The country is desti tute of troops, no doubt ; between Embden and Bremen there are hardly 500 men of the second re giment of Dutch infantry, who desert i 0 and 15 at a time, to obtain the bounty offered by the inhabi tants of the Duchy of Oldenbusgh. The contingent is 800 men, and they have not above 600. The difficulty of subsisting and marching an army in this low, marshy, and boggy country, is so great; that the measure is not likely to be adopted, even if it had been in contemplation on your side of the water." The Duchess of Buccleugh has heed swindled lately of several sums of money, by means of let ters sent to her Grace, perporting to be written . by,. Lady ELIZABETH MURRAY., stating that her Lady ship was under embarrassed circumstances in Lon don. Her Grace ,believing the tale, sent money at. different timeg, as requested, addressed to the Crown Hotel, Soho'-square. Her Grace afterwards, in cor responding with her friends in Edinburgh, found that she had been imposed upon, as Lady ELLiABETIi MURB4Y was in Edinburgh, whete her Grace had. been for some time past. A few days since, het Grate received anoth e r letter in the. same hand-, writing, and purporting td be written by Lady ELI- . ZAiETH MARRAY, requestinganOthersum of money ; stating that it was to convey her to Windsor; she having been .appoipted to ,a" place in the Palace, under their Majesties. T he money, as usual, was requested' to be sent to the Cros.vu Hotel, Soho square. This letter was answered by her Grace's agent, requesting that Lady , EtizARETR M,ORIXAY Would wait Open the Duche s s , o f B ucc l eug h,. at her house in Priyy-gardens.

The Cdtmf de Va!7:4., ' years hefore the commencement of the Play, had heila ploy ed in a military service in France, and having received severe wound in action, it was generally reported that dead. Soon after this report, a tire liNelled his caul.:: with the ground, and his wife and infant son were supposed been buried in the Barnes. The castle was situa!ed in The Count, however, recovers, and, retiring from the *Ser vice, finds on his arrival ar the place where tie cape tea meet his wife and child, a heap of ruins. . This melancholy event induces him nt retire;and with Ails inc-c!. kinsman, 114. • run Longueville, to Alsace. The Count is absorneci in in„ consolable afflietion by the loss he has suffered, and almost. secludes httnself froth society, except when he' is called to• the exerche of benevolence. In one cf his solitary walks through a n - ighbouring forest, he finds a 'Child, nearly pe rishing with cold and hunger. Ile brings hita,home, edfa cates him as his son, and at the opening of the piece, ,xvF that on Florian, this youth, he ; has resolved to L.:Stow the hand of his niece, Geraldine, the couple being much atr:i;:ii‘ ed to each• other, LongueVille, it appears, was also much attached to Geraldine, arid consequently hostile to Florian., whose death he has resolved on cohering, by the ..,iss:st ance of Bertram, whom he had bound to his service by a solemn oath. It appears, also, that the lire ,- had nut been occasioned by accident, but had been the of Longueville's villainy, in hopes that by removing the Count's wife and son, he should succeed to the wnole possessions Bertram, however, deefily penitent at hav ing so long been sot instrun'ent of the wickedness, determines on saving Florian. In the attempt to defeat the views of the 26SSil:S, who are employed by the Baron to as sist in the destruction of 11 , rian, Whom they are to way, lay, in his expected return from the army, through a forest, Ber tram traces Florian to a cottage ; Florian had bei`n induced to enter this cottage, having overheard the assassins discoui ing on the intended murder. Here the assassins arrive, and. just as they are about to execute the murder, in spite of a:1 the efforts of Bei train, a lady appears, whose garb and ‘viiti aspect induce the conspirators to aoandon their design in terror. Bertram recognises in this Lady, the Countess, who was sup posed to have perished in the tire. He implores her forgive ness, and promises to save her from the Mture.villainy of the Baron, if the latter should discover that she is alive. Ai length, after various difficulties and horrors, which we have not room to detail, the Count discovers his Irmg-lost Son in Florian, as well ,as hiS Wife, in the Lady who had been ne , .. wildered by her grief and sheltered by a poor female cottager, Longueville is punished for his atrocity, and the play cch-i_ eludes with the intended marriage of the young couple, anti a prospeet of general happiness. • • This Play is the avowed prOdnEtion of Mr. DI MOND, jun. who has written several other pireeS; which shew a considerable degree of poetical power, under •the influence of a romantic imagination. The Fable is in general interesting, amt in some parts takes a strong hold of the affections. Tuere are; however, some incidents that eXceed the boated, of that terror which, according to the decision of the best Critics, is one of the legitimate, sources Of dra matic sympathy. Hence pity is lost in horror, and.' the mind revolts from what is too dreadfull to awaken mere sympathy. But the effe& was so strong on• the' feelings, as to shew in the Author a powerful com mand over the passions. These passages we hope will be softened, and as the piece much exceeds the usual length of similar produClions, we advise the Author to exscind 'much of , the comic pin of his Drama; as - he is by no means so successful in his , humoutous efforts as in those of the - grave and tern fic description. The sentiments are in. general na tural and impressive, though sometimes a little too poetical and flowery m.the language. The character of the Count is well drawn, and though none of the charaeters can be said to Fe new, yet the readiness of De Valmont, amidst all his griefs and all the impatience which they produce, to attend the calls of benevolence, constitutes somewhat of a' . novel trait, and renders him peculiarly interesting. - This part was admirably supported by YouNG. Mrs. GLo - R, though by no means a tragic actress; displayed great merit in the charaCter of the Coun. Less. MuCli of the levity which appears in the chaiiiaer ' of govian in the forest, is unsuitable to.the dangeri 6f his situatiOn, 'and lessens the' interest. of ..his chi taaer., JONES supported thi§cbarder very well; but would have been inuch.beter if he had not almost/ constantly directed his eyes to the audience, and if instead of a wild 'And vacant stare, he had. ende3... voured to throw some variety of expression into his countenance._ . i Mrs: GIB/3 was very interesting n Geraldine, and Mrs: DAVENPORT, with a little too . much. of, .her bawling violence, was natural and effeeiive in the old cottager. FARLET made a cOnsiderable.figure in be/Iran?, Lrs:torr had but . little scope forbis powers, but he made it tell., His song about. lzrandy was but :3. poor composition, though it Was encored. Mrs. Lts.rol4 sung prettily, but her charaaer ha; little to do with the fable, The Pay requires compression,. and as .there is much redundance, it can be easily effeCted. A more' interesting piece his not been brought for Ward for some ,time, and with .a few judicious curtailments, we have no doubt that it will be very attradive. It was ' received with versr -great. applause, and an nounced for this evening with the loud and universal concurrence of a very numerous audience. We cannot . conclude . Without earnestly advisit* the, Proprietors of this, Theatre to endeavour to-pre : - seive some decency in the lobby, for the women of the town assembled, there last night wee filly as noisy and riotous, during the first iet, as if they ' liad been in the open. street. This . is , indeed a nala... ance every. night, though not to so great a cleg,rife, and as it is one of the most offensive kind to the ad-, rnirers Of dramatic entertainments, it calls aloud for redress.
